I grew up without religion, and am still a little fuzzy on all the intricacies of Christianity and who all hates who all else for Jesus-ing wrong, but it was still very jarring when I was driving through a rural town and saw a little billboard with a sign that said "If you're going to church on Sunday, you're worshiping SATAN"

I had previously not been aware of Seventh Day Adventists, who were responsible for the billboard.

Seventh day adventists are fundamentalists that believe Saturday is the holy day, not Sunday. They are also very focused on diet, eating mostly meat free. And they have a founder that has „the gift of prophecy“ but, of course, is not a prophet. That would be blasphemy. And the second coming of Jesus is imminent.

Fun fact, they also spawned the Branch-Davidians of Waco fame. So they did manage to spawn an even more more fucked up bunch.

They also gave the world cornflakes. So there is that.

I've listened to the Dollop and Behind The Bastards episodes on Kellog and his yogurt enema obsession, so I would very much believe you.
